A clear day-by-day document: recommended timings, real hike durations, bookings to make, tried-and-tested restaurants, an estimated budget and alternatives in case of mist.

All the places geolocated on your phone, plus one adjustment after you receive it and support during your stay if the weather changes the plan.

“Nous avons consulté Lucie tardivement, nous avions déjà vols, hôtel et voiture mais pas le temps d'organiser l'itinéraire. Après un appel de 30 min, elle nous a préparé un itinéraire parfait, détaillé, avec des variantes selon la météo ou notre énergie. Plein de bonnes adresses de restaurants, points de vue et endroits moins touristiques, même en août !”

Questions from travellers
What exactly is a custom Madeira itinerary?
It's a day-by-day plan built solely for you: your dates, length of stay, walking level, budget and wishes. Nothing is copied from a template. You receive a complete travel notebook with recommended timings, real travel times and tried-and-tested addresses, plus a geolocated map of the places.
How much does a custom itinerary in Madeira cost?
Packages start at €185 for the essentials and go up to a fully turnkey service. The complete Madeira itinerary with notebook is €285. I take no commission on accommodation or activities: the fee you pay is the only cost of my work.
How long does it take to receive my itinerary?
Generally allow 7 to 10 days after the discovery call and quote approval, depending on the length and time of the trip. In high season, get in touch at least two months before departure to keep a good choice of accommodation.
Do you need to hire a car in Madeira?
Yes, in almost all cases. The levadas, the north and the high plateaus are not properly served by public transport. I specify in the notebook which days a car is essential, where to park and which stretches to avoid in fog.
Can the itinerary be changed once received?
Yes. One round of adjustments is included after you receive it. And if the weather changes everything on the ground, you can write to me: Madeira often comes down to swapping two days around.
Are you a travel agency?
No. I'm an independent travel planner: I don't sell flights, hotels or packages. I organise and design your trip, and you book everything yourself directly, with no middleman and no hidden commission.
